Non-GMO Corn Husks for Tamales

Non-GMO corn husks, or hojas de maíz, are a key component to making tamales at home. Rather than the run-of-the-mill, bone-dry version found at your local market, these hojas are sun-dried, then re-hydrated and vacuum sealed for freshness. You can say goodbye to overnight soaking in boiling water — these soft, pliable hojas are a game-changer.

Details+
• 15.5 oz non-GMO Hojas de Maíz (approx. 50 husks)

A note: These corn husks will last up to four months or can be frozen to extend their shelf life.
Usage+
While hojas arrive pliable, we do recommend soaking in hot water for at least 10 minutes to dissipate any scent of sulfur dioxide (traditionally used as a preservative).

Making tamales is a labor of love. Plan on setting aside a day to embark on this cooking project. In addition to hojas, you’ll need: masa harina, your preferred fat (lard or vegan substitute), broth, baking powder, and the filling of your choice. Check out the ¡Tamales! book or our blog for ideas.
